Rocket WD 40?

It certainly looked as though a cherry picker was used as a means to access the internals of the top drive and give it a liberal spray of Rocket WD 40, the Drillers Friend! However the main reason for looking in this morning was to see if the casing had been installed and by all accounts it has. It now appears as if drilling the final and longest section of the borehole, down another 1,200 metres or so to 1,800 metres, is about to begin. There is a great video of the workings of the HH220 drilling rig available here for drilling nerds. Yep, I’m afraid I’ve become one myself!
